There are two environments that make it easier for you to create the results you want, to get your goals accomplished.
The first is your external environment. This is where you go to practice, train or get your work done.
It could be an office with pictures on the wall and your favorite type of music playing. It could also be a room in your home, or a cabin where you have total privacy, or a place where there is background noise, such as a coffee bar, or a pool where children are playing.
The second is your invisible, internal environment.
There is an environment within your brain-body where you are at your best, where there is zero resistance to you taking action and getting the job done.
This internal environment can vary as well. Some people prefer to tackle the most difficult task of the day first, forcing themselves, usually with will power, to do what they are prone to putting off.
I have a different approach, one where I go after one of the easiest goals I have on my list for the day. This goal may only take me five minutes (or less) to complete, but once it is finished, I have momentum on my side, and as a result, I find it easier to slide into the next objective.
Similar to a snowball, I can begin the day by pushing one that is the size of a large boulder, or I can begin to pack one together that fits inside my hands and begin to roll it forward until it is much bigger.
Afterward, I can make another snowball, going after my next goal. And with this approach, by the end of the day, I have created a fortress of completed jobs that point to a day that was well lived.
At the end of the day, as I am putting my head on a pillow, I can look at what I have accomplished and say that today was a winner.
Whichever approach you choose to use, observe your results and the method that got you there, then decide if it would be a good idea to make some tweaks in your external and internal environments.
